Welcome to Mathnasium of Sarasota

Hello. I'm Jim Markgraf, Owner of Mathnasium of Sarasota, your neighborhood math-only learning center. We help kids in grades 1-12 understand math by teaching the way that makes sense to them.

When math makes sense, kids leap way ahead – whether they started out far behind or already ahead in math. Our formula for teaching kids math, the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids learn math for over a decade across 700+ centers in the US and Canada:

We pinpoint your child’s learning needs, meet them where they are, and take them where they need to go.
Mathnasium instructors use our unique assessment process to determine (with great accuracy) exactly what each child knows and what they need to learn. Next, we design a customized learning plan for teaching the concepts the student needs to master. It doesn’t stop there – our encouraging instructors continually check progress along the way to make sure kids truly understand and retain the concepts we’ve taught. The results are transformative – kids will see measurable changes in attitude, confidence, and school progress.

We will help your child overcome homework frustration.
Our instructors will also set aside time to provide homework help. We help kids understand the homework assignment so they feel better prepared to complete the work at home – underscoring their understanding of concepts and transforming homework frustration into a welcome challenge.

Love all the staff there at the Cattleman, Sarasota facility, especially Dirk! My son went from a D in Pre algebra to an A the final quarter of school! Great confidence builder, helped to give him a better overview of mathematical principles, and instilled a great discipline in working extra every day to improve. Thank you!

Dirk is an excellent teacher who has been extremely supportive in teaching our son. He is flexible and receptive to focusing upon math areas where our son needs tutoring, explanation, and numerical exercises to fill-in any gaps of knowledge...especially those revealed by school classroom performance

Mathnasium makes math fun for my daughter. It has given her confidence and has helped her begin to like math as a subject. We saw a difference in her school work immediately. Best part is a better attitude toward math!

My daughter, Samantha, loves going to Mathnasium to get the help she needs with concepts she doesn't grasp. My husband. and I used to take turns to try and help her but a lot of times it would not turn out so productive because of the power struggles..."that's not how the teacher showed it!" Dirk at Mathnasium is exceptional with all the students based on what I can hear from the waiting room. There's no more Math stress and I know she's only been there for a short time, I know she will improve her grade on the next quarter report card. I love the fact that they assess them initially and go over concepts she did poorly on so that she will actually know it next time she needs to use it. It's pricey but much cheaper than paying an hourly tutor...so worth the investment!!

We have had a great experience and Dirk is amazing. Our child went from a "D" math student to a "B" and she never complained about going to Mathnasium. We will be back if she needs it and I am grateful to Mathnasium for helping her understand and be more confident in her abilities.

My daughter likes that the tutors are young and she receives good thorough help from them. She responds well to the candy reward system! Most importantly, there has been a significant improvement in her math skills. She was struggling at school with her first ever C's and B's and now she is getting straight A's. Mathnasium is filling the gaps where she needs help and is giving her a complete foundation of undertanding. It has given back her confidence and she able to tackle harder math with a good attitude.
I wish (as does she) there was a science tutoring component as well!

My son has been struggling at school. Since coming to mathnasium I've seen a drastic change. He truly enjoys coming to mathnasium & has become interested in learning. This has translated into him also really enjoying his school work. I'm still waiting fyi see if this is a dream-no exaggeration!!

Mathnasium is a top notch educational facility that not only cares about your child's math scores but about your individual child. My daughter has been a member for over 2 years and continues to go not because the program doesn't work but because it DOES!

There are too many gaps in mathematics. Our students are faced with learning a new skill nearly every day and have the pressure to pass high stakes tests. Mathnasium provides the assistance necessary to help children succeed.

My son's confidence in math is now authentic thanks to Mathnasium. He no longer makes his decision on his ability to appreciate math on his "grades" from one teacher nor his grades in contrast to his classmates. He now bases his abilities on his progress he makes at Mathnasium.

Hi
My only problem currently is Julian is an athlete & every season he can never get there since he finishes most evenings around 6:30. He would really benefit if you had a few nights with extended hours..., Possibly 8pm rather than 7. Mathnasium is amazing when he can come!!

Our daughter was struggling with Geometry and had failed a test or two. She went to Mathnasium and she just got the results of her EOC. She scored in the 95th percentile! She couldn't have done it without Mathnasium
